Book excerpt: John Murray, acclaimed as a foremost authority on the true thought of John Calvin, clarifies Calvin's position on key issues confronting evangelical theologians today: Doctrine of Scripture, Authority of Scripture, and Sovereignty of God. Enhanced by its frequent inclusion of direct quotation, this volume is far more convincing than one of mere opinion or interpretation. Quoting substantially from Calvin's Commentaries and Institutes, Murray (1) establishes that Calvin held to the verbal inspiration and infallible authority of the Bible; (2) demonstrates that John Calvin maintained Scripture to be intrinsically authoritative by reason of its divine inspiration; (3) explains that Calvin's conception of God's sovereignty according to His decrees and God's sovereignty according to divine providence. -Publisher
